For those of you who love the traditional old
time scent of Pinaud Clubman AS, I found
that they also make Pinaud Clubman hair gel.
It's about as close as you can get without
actually putting the aftershave in your hair.
Very nice.

Is is a tonic? I saw that they have a couple of hair tonics and always wondered what the heck they are for.
No, it's actually a tub of hair styling gel.

If you have frizzy or poofy hair, the tonics are great. It is a light hold though, not like gel. Just be careful of the ones containing oil, they may leave you greasy. They also add a light scent to your hair.Quote:

they actually make a tonic too ... and it smells basically just like the aftershave. It's a slightly different colour, so probably slightly different ingredients, but the scent (to me) is the same.Quote:

I also bought mine at Walgreens. Like you said,
it is a good quality gel and the scent is faint. I have
had the hair tonic in my hair and that is as powerful
as the AS.

By the way, I just discovered an online store devoted to the Clubman line:
http://www.clubmanonline.com/
From the "about" page:
"Clubman Online is the premier online source for the full range of fine products from Pinaud-Clubman as well as other select shaving, personal care and grooming products.
"My name is Jim Bilger. For many years, my brother Dan and I ran Corrado Cutlery in Chicago and, for many years, Corrado Cutlery sold the full line of Pinaud-Clubman products. When I closed Corrado's in 2004, I realized there were very few outlets left that carried a full range of Clubman so I decided to open Clubman Online as a resource for those dedicated Clubman fans who had few avenues left to find their favorite brand of men's toiletries.
"This is a side-line business for me. I have full time work that does not allow me to ship orders or answer email every day. ..."
I remember Corrado Cutlery; I hadn't come to know and appreciate Clubman in those days, though.
I just a bottle of PC AS. It's very nostalgic. Also very potent.
